Haemorrhoids!!!&#128546;

Anyone else suffering with piles after birth? My little girl is 8 days old today and I can still not sit down because of thrombosed external haemorrhoids.
The hospital said to come back in last Thursday to have a small surgery if they still hadn't improved. They were black and huge and I have been convincing myself that they are getting (slightly smaller, lighter in colour). But eight days in and I am still in agony and look like a man from behind!😬😢😟
Anyone else in a similar position or has had theirs 'drained'? I am worried that it will take a long time to recover from the surgery, so have been avoiding it🙈

FROZEN PEAS.
I had a hell of a weekend with mine 7 days after given birth. Was using anusol HC from the pharmacy ( which is what the GP could give). Went to Go who's suggested I've packs (frozen pea in a sandwich bag) and swop them regularly with in 2days they where shrinking.

I had them in late pregnancy that only got worse post delivery. I have a few that are thrombosed unfortunately, best advice is ice on them for 15 mins (wrapped in a flannel) and anusol. Mine are improving slowly,

TMI (too much information) one has shrunk and popped itself which did bleed a little but overall nowhere near as painful at 11 days pp.

Mine were horrendous I was in agony for about 10days or so. I got some proctosedyl ointment off the doctor and put it on each time I went to the loo and within a few days they were noticeably smaller. Im still suffering when I go for a no2 everthing gets pushed back out and they bleed quite a bit. But I suppose it will just take time to heal completely. I’d ring your gp for some proctosedyl or similar they contain a small amount of numbing anaesthetic x
